Meteor Tourism

Just about every news event creates a demand for some kind of tourism. And the recent astronomical event in Russia is due to create some influx of tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of the impact or even a fragment of "space rock".

I mean, we will typically hang out in the darkened backyard to watch for shooting stars! Not that I want one to zoom over the house and blow out all the windows, but if one was nearby, I might just need to check it out (and take my camera).
